Who's Who in Gold and Silver

Whether you're looking to find or commission a unique piece of jewellery, are a student of jewellery design, or are simply a jewellery fan who likes to keep abreast of new and current designers, The Goldsmiths' Company's directory of contemporary British silversmiths, jewellers and art medallists is a most useful resource.

OVER 200 DESIGNERS

Who's Who in Gold and Silver features more than 200 of the UK's leading designer crafstmen, all of whom have been approved by the Goldsmiths' Company's Committee of experts and are thus of an extremely high calibre. This is a very helpful site that makes it simple to search for designers, whose listings include clear images of their work, contact details, prices, training, exhibitions, public auctions, galleries plus a personal statement about their design ethos. New designers and makers have their own searchable section on the site, as does each gallery and retailer that stocks the featured designers' work. You can also break down your search into Jewellery, Silver or Works of Art.

USEFUL INFORMATION

In addition to this, information is provided on how to purchase or commission a piece of jewellery, with top tips on how to get the best from your designer. Like any industry, jewellery making has its own language, and if words such as ‘Cubic Zirconium' or ‘Mokume Gane' have you scratching your head, you can always look them up in Glossary. Meanwhile, use the ‘What's Happening' section to find a list of all the latest jewellery exhibitions taking place and browse the alphabetically listed links to find other related jewellery sites.
